Review summary

This was my first and last time on NCL. You don't feel special on this boat. You feel like you are always being charged extra for everything. The haven class gets all the attention. They even have one elevator blocked off for them.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Main dining room food wasn't good. Specialty restaurants charged you extra for things like lobster and steak.

Teppanyaki

Le Bistro French Restaurant

4 out of 5

Great food. The problem is everything is an extra charge. You pay for specialty dinning. The lobster is extra $25. The filet is an extra $10. Such a scam.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not a lot of activities. Games like bingo and lets make a deal way over priced.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Footlose was the worst show I ever seen. You have to prebook the shows.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The main issue is they only come in and make up your room once. They don't come back in the evening,. They don't even put a chocolate on your pillow.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The ship's layout is terrible. The main area isn't impressive at all. Not enough stairs going up and down. Elevators take forever.
